Doxygen

Introduction

Doxygen is a system for a nice documentation of code in projects.

Creating a documentation

Creating the doxygen documentation for all files in a directory is simple. All you need is a configuration file which doxygen can generate for you. So starting from scratch you do:

$ cd your/dir/of/choice
$ doxygen -g             # generating a configfile called 'Doxyfile'
$ doxygen                # running doxygen over all files using 'Doxyfile'.
                         # this should create subdirectories 'html' and 'latex'

in every future iteration you will then only need to run:

$ doxygen

Rules for documentation

To find out how to document the code, have a look at: http://drupal.org/node/1354.

GetPacking projects from CVS and looking at the header-files may be a good introduction as well.
